I'm going to wind up buying an O2, aren't I?

We are getting a lot of help in this passion aren't we. When do you think you will be committed; I mean committing?

But holy shit it's like an ultra resolving (minus the midbass hump) L3000.

I actually think that's fairly accurate in the sense that the O2's share a pretty similar tonality to the L3000. The O2's do kill them in resolution and speed though.

i think this might be the most sweeping HC FOTM we've had. true we have more regular posters now then ever, but still, wow.

i blame staxman spritzer. >:D

The thing I really like with the O2 is they are really holographic soundstage wise. Something I really missed in the L3000.

I think the O2 midrange is a bit "cooler" than the midrange heavy L3000. Definitely agree that the O2 bests them in speed and resolution. I can't wait to feed the O2 some tubes :prettyprincess:

Another thing I noticed is where the L3000 is pretty much bass heavy all the time, the O2 is only bass heavy when called for. ie The National - Boxer is dominated/lead by the drums/bass lines (overall dark sounding album) that sounds so good on the O2. But put in a bass light CD like the Led Zep remasters vomit-smiley-31.gif and the bass is definitely lacking.

They are definitely very resolving of recordings.

We're closing on an apartment at some point this summer. If I pull the trigger prior to that, then I'll have to sell the O2 immediately for the alimony payments--unless I get them SuperNinja style.

I have no plans whatsoever in getting a pair of O2's.

4070's, on the other hand...

How about some 4070s and a nice cappuccino?

The setup looks great Deepak, and I hope you enjoy the O2s more than I did.

That mean you decided to not pack them away in your closet?

at the price I got them at I'd have a hard time letting them go, even if speakers followed by the HD650 get more headtime.

Shit, I wish that I were as young as you. Then maybe I could stay up till 5am for 3 days in a row.

I'm good for one, maybe two 5am stints but then I'm toast.

I'm too old for that shit anymore. I can stay up 'til 5am as many days in a row...as long as I sleep 'til 1pm the next day...this burning the candle at both ends shit ended years ago.
